All names in ASL are fingerspelled, especially when introducing yourself to someone. However, if you are Deaf or a part of the Deaf community you may have what is called a name sign, which will differ depending on the name.
The name of the first school for the deaf in America was Connecticut Asylum for the Education and Instruction of Deaf and Dumb Persons. (I know, its long.) Opened in April 15th, 1817. The Connecticut Asylum for the Education and Instruction of Deaf and Dumb Persons was the name for short time, changed to American School for the Deaf.

In ASL (American Sign Language), your name must be finger spelled. The only way to learn your sign name is to ask a friend who is Deaf. from then on out, you can introduce yourself using that sign after finger spelling your name. I emphasis the fact that ONLY a Deaf FRIEND can give you your sign name since your name reflects an aspect of your personality or something that can be associated with you

Name signs in American Sign Language (ASL) are unique signs that represent a person's name using a combination of handshapes, movements, and locations on the body. These signs are individualized and are often given by members of the Deaf community to each other based on a person's characteristics, personality or initials. Name signs hold personal significance and are an important part of Deaf culture.
How do you know what your name is when you're hearing>? Deaf/deaf people do not hear their name, true, but they still have a name sign, can spell their name, etc. They have a name and they know it. People call them by it and usually they identify with it.
In American Sign Language (ASL), the sign for "Rachel" involves using the fingerspelling alphabet to spell out the name R-A-C-H-E-L. Each letter of the name is represented by a specific handshape and movement.
